It starts in 2019, so it lasts one year longer - same eligibility reqs.

I meant that in 2020, one would be able to buy, new, multiple EVs that have 200+ mile range - not necessarily that the vehicles would be released in 2020. However : Kia Niro Hyundai Kona Tesla Model 3 (the "standard range" model) Nissan LEAF (extended range) Kia Soul EV (new model for 2019/20)...

There should be several new vehicles for sale in 2020 that are "better" than today's Bolt (if the exact same model is avail next year). If there are two or three different vehicles that are about 240 miles of range, for about $38K, and you can get $7500 fed tax credit AND $2500 (or more) state...

I think that purple is it - the current program ends in 2023, doesn't it?

Purple Decals are now making their appearance (expire Jan 1, 2023 instead of Jan 1, 2022 for the red ones).

There have been reports of problems with some recent (Gen 2) Tesla UMC (the portable EVSEs) and the TeslaTap. Also, I read that (do not know if it is true, that the JDapter is using the exact circuit as TeslaTap. They (JDapter) were purchasing parts from suppliers that decided to just start...

Please reply about the product via personal message. (Click on user's name, then click on "Send private message" in the next screen.) Thx.

I believe it was true when it was posted (two years ago). Since then, EVgo has introduced new plans, which have time limits of either 45 mins or 60 mins (the 60 min limit is for '$10/mo subscribers", and only from 8pm-6am). Although a while back, there was a report that if you never contacted...

It wasn't anything about the product, it was simply that someone signed up (apparently) specifically to post a link to a product for sale. (New user, first post, "wow - look at this great product!" and a link.)

Are you (or you tax S/W) asking for "Charge Ahead" money? (which is income-limited). That might some have an effect. Is there "alternative minimum tax" in the state of Oregon? Look at the actual sheets that will be filed ("print to PDF", then look at the PDF file) in both cases - you should...

As usual for us poor EV drivers ... "it will be soooo much better in just a year!!" . I bounce between being elated and up-beat about the new DCFCs going "real soon now", and being pissed off and depressed because they aren't there yet (been waiting for the CEC-funded routes to pop up since the...

EVgo has just turned on FOUR new "80 kW" (200A) DCFC units near downtown San Jose. They replaced the old "50 kW" (125A) units with four brand-spanking-new 200A units - that do load-sharing! (If a Porche charges at 200A/800V, the other "paired one" won't get but a dribble of power until the...

Concerning "DCFC kW may not be 'very useful' information" ... I hadn't looked in a long time, (the older units listing "max kW" based on unreasonable voltages of 500V, such as 50kW because it can provide a max of 100A at 500V) and I was surprised at the published specs for the newest DCFC...

Torque Pro is an android app. There *are* existing iOS apps for reading OBD2 codes. Engine Link has been recommended, for example (I have never used it).

1) Where do you see me keep asking for "control over existing build-outs of EVGo and now Electrify America" ??? Please show me quotes of what I have posted that says that. (You can't go back more than 3 months - you are saying "keep asking", so that means "current".) 2) I don't want govt...

I don't understand the "quasi-socialistic" comment. Personally, I view a settlement that dumps a bunch of money into a fund to be handed out on a "competitive bid" basis among all companies who would then have to compete to be capitalism, not socialism. Especially since I mentioned the "must...

I personally never enable / configure "Homelink" garage door opener on any vehicle - it allows anybody that breaks into the vehicle when at my house to access my garage. (I have a mini-remote on my keychain for opening the door, as well as a "lock out" function on the electric motor that I use...

To paraphrase a line from Casablanca ... "I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that there is an automobile dealership that is using shady practices in its everyday business!! " :mrgreen:

If one would like to monitor charging, battery capacity, etc. more closely, I'd suggest one might want to look into buying the 'Torque Pro' smartphone app (if you have android), and a wireless OBD2 dongle (which plugs into the car's diagnostic port). You can get A LOT of info - including...

In many cases EA (will often, based on its published 'plan') make non-Tesla electric vehicle travel between cities *realistically* possible for the first time (especially outside of CA nd the NE corridor). By 'realistically possible', I mean (1) not having to stop at an L2 for 'buffer range' to...
